Legacy

This week's Write or Die prompt ties in super well with the post I wrote for tomorrow [ps look forward to my Blogging for Books post, finally] but it also gives me a lot of anxiety to think about. So here's what I'm going to do, I'm going to do a like, train of thought post. I know there's a word for it, but I can't think of it right now? OH stream of consciousness! Okay so it looks like I'm starting way up here. 

So this word means a lot to me, because I'm still Delta Gamma wired, I think "oh if I change my mind about kids, and have a daughter, she would be my little legacy!" sometimes thoughts like that make me consider having kids, then I deal with a teenager at Kroger and I'm back to the yeah, no chance bro school of thought. [side note. that confession is not an invitation to tell me that I will change my mind or tell me anything else about why I should have kids. it's not like I'm even close to that point in my life yet to begin with.] anyways. 

I touched on it a little last week, but what drives me is the need to leave the world a better place. I try my hardest to leave situations better than I find them. I try to go out of my way if someone does their job well [which sometimes people think is really weird. you should hear managers when I ask to speak to them because of a positive experience, they're always expecting to hear an angry customer..] I think it's important to say thank you and I love to send thank you cards. Sometimes for no reason. Sometimes just to say hello. [now that I'm thinking about it, would it be weird to send out Christmas cards just as myself? I really need to get a dog...] 

I'm still searching for my legacy. I don't know what it's going to be, but I have plenty of time to figure it out. Right now, I'll focus on what I'm good at and how I can use those skills, my personality, and my passions to make the world a better place. That's what I want my legacy to be. What do you want yours to be?
